When life gives you lemons
You make lemonade but what do you do
when life hands you sorrow
and confusion
I don't know
Do you know?
What do I do when the one
I love forgets all
About me?
What do I do when my friends
Always have my back
But I second guess
Having theirs'?
Am I supposed to feel bad or
Feel delighted?
Should I succumb to my emotions
Or dominate over them?
All these questions
Without a single answer
Well I guess that's fine
For the time being

I'm sorry that your young life
was interrupted by mine
"just a kid"
3 words to break my heart

but as you grew older
and your excuse became invalid
I was still insignificant
forgetting me
like a French fry at the bottom of the bag

for years
I tired to call out for you,
to reach you,
eventually
I became soggy,
greasy.
when all I wanted was for you to need me

as time continued on
you ignored me still
my love and need grew cold
your lies got old
and I quit missing my father
the one that I never got to know

All I wanted
was to end my pain's appetite
the be wanted
but it's not all your fault
friends,
family,
stranger too
forgetting me
just as you do
but maybe
if you would have loved me
held me
before I became so bitter
maybe
if you hadn't forgotten me
like that one, tiny French fry
in the bottom of the bag
maybe
just maybe
I could have been the very best French fry that
you've ever had.
